      disable => true
    }

    class { "xinetd":
      disableboot => true
    }
  

• Remove xinetd package

    class { "xinetd":
      absent => true
    }
  

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing xinetd configuration files

    class { "xinetd":
      audit_only => true
    }
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom sources for main config file

    class { "xinetd":
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/xinetd/xinetd.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/xinetd/xinetd.conf" ], 
    }
  

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

    class { "xinetd":
      source_dir       => "puppet:///modules/lab42/xinetd/conf/",
      source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file

    class { "xinetd":
      template => "example42/xinetd/xinetd.conf.erb",      
    }
  

• Define custom options that can be used in a custom template without the need to add parameters to the xinetd class

    class { "xinetd":
      template => "example42/xinetd/xinetd.conf.erb",    
      options  => {
        'LogLevel' => 'INFO',
